How we choose stories
Who decides what gets written, what the AI does, and what a person does.
1. Collecting
Every day we read a chosen set of sources: the blogs of the companies building AI, reputable technology publications, and East African technology outlets. That list is reviewed and changed as needed.
2. Choosing
Most stories do not concern you. We select on three tests: does it touch life in Tanzania?, is it true and confirmed?, and can someone actually do something about it? A story that fails all three is not published, however big it is elsewhere.
We need the full article, not just a headline. If a source does not give us enough text, the story is not written — because writing from a headline alone is inventing.
3. Writing
An AI system reads the article, extracts a brief of what it means, then writes the story in Kiswahili and English from that meaning. Our rule for the system is one line: the source is the record of fact. It may not add its own doubts or alter what the source reported.
4. Reviewing
A human editor reads every draft and can edit it, reject it, or publish it. Every edit the editor makes is stored and used to teach the system this site's voice. No story reaches a reader without this step.
5. Showing our working
Every story carries a link to its source at the end. If you want to check, click it. When we get something wrong, we correct it and say what changed.
About the tools directory
The AI tools listing is built from well-known tool directories. We take only the basic facts — name, website, pricing — and then write our own descriptions in Kiswahili and English. Prices and availability change; check the tool's own site before paying for anything.
